Shop Tech II - Manufacturing & Installation

Overview

We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on Shop Technician who can take a set of drawings and turn it into a finished, working system. And because Pillar Innovations is employee-owned, every system you build helps grow a company you own a piece of. Working out of our Grantsville shop and reporting to the Shop Foreman, you’ll assemble everything from steel structures and pipe and tube frames to complex systems like conveyors, compressors, pump stations, and ovens. You’ll cut, prep, weld, and grind metal, bend and thread pipe, modify existing structures for custom builds, and lay out and secure parts to spec. On the mechanical side, you’ll mount pumps and compressors, align equipment, and help with final assembly, system startups, and commissioning. You’ll also set up rigging, prepare finished products for shipment, and occasionally travel to customer sites for installations, sometimes with overnight stays. Projects sometimes call for extended hours.

This role is a step up, and it comes with the responsibility owners take on. You’ll help train and mentor our Shop Tech 1s, flag drawing revisions to the Foreman and Project Managers, and look for ways to make our processes safer and more efficient. Safety comes first here. Every employee has the right and the responsibility to stop work that isn’t being done safely, and every owner looks out for the people around them.
